Incumbent Glenda Alston is set to retain her position as Hardin County Clerk after defeating challenger Jerry Jordan in Tuesday's Republican primary election.

Alston finished with 2,733 votes to Jordan's 911.

"I ran a clean, fair race and he bashed me on Facebook," Alston said. "He told me he's going to run again in four years, and I will too."

Alston will not have a Democratic challenger in the Nov. 6 general election.

Alston, 70, has been Hardin County Clerk since 2002.

"I'm excited and looking forward to serving Hardin County for four more years," Alston said.
